The United States must rapidly expand its renewable energy production by four times to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, requiring significant investments in solar, wind, energy storage, transmission, and zero-carbon technologies. Current energy and infrastructure systems favour dirty projects, creating barriers to affordable clean energy development.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can no longer rely on slow policy shifts to build clean energy projects; the system is currently skewed against you and prioritises fossil fuels. Accelerate your moves this quarter by focusing on overcoming regulatory barriers in renewable infrastructure and capitalising on the Inflation Reduction Act incentives before opposition increases.
